Beans lost one of their most loyal and faithful friends this
past April unexpectedly. Mabel Scott was a warm,
loving lady who made many people smile during her time on earth. I
came up with the idea to do something special in Mabel’s name since
she loved children so much. She was always doing things to
make children she knew and some that she didn't know, happy. I
thought it would be nice to give a child a little something to smile
about when they have to visit the hospital. After sharing the idea
with my friends in the Planet Beans Yahoo! Beanie Club http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/planetbeans,
I got such a wonderful response from those that loved and cared a
great deal for Mrs. Mabel Scott, that I decided to contact the
hospital in my area and set up a time for the donation to take
place.

Robin,
(former webmaster of Planet Beans) and I arrived at the hospital
with our huge box
of
beanies, buddies, puffkins, and barbies to give to the children
at the hospital.
|
| As it turns out,
there was only one child in the hospital at the time, (a 14 year
old boy) and he was worried that his friends might see his
picture in the paper holding a beanie. So, we presented the box
of goodies to some of the nurses. |
 |
 |
Look
at all the goodies! We instructed the staff at the hospital that
these toys were to be given to any child coming to the hospital,
whether it was just for a procedure, or if they were going to have
to stay overnight.
|
| The staff told us
that they would be taking some of the toys down to the emergency
room to give to children who came in, some were going to the
pediatric floor, and others would be on the labor/delivery floor
for the new babies. |
